Question

My friend John lived with his parents. They lived in a small town not far from London. Both his parents were over seventy years old.

One day, we drank in a bar with some other friends. It was dark but none wanted to leave. We hadn't been together for a long time. We talked and laughed. It seemed that all of us forgot the time.But suddenly John got up and went outside. "Where are you going?" I followed him. "I just want to make a call with my parents. It's late. I want to tell them not to wait for me."I noticed that he dialed(拨号码)the phone number twice as he called his parents. When he dialed the first time, he hung up after three rings. And then he dialed a second time and began to talk.¨Was the line busy the first time?"I asked.‘‘NO．” ‘'Then I can't understand why you dialed the phone twice."

My friend smiled. He told me, "When I call my parents, they are so eager(渴望的)to talk to me that they run for the phone. Once, in order to answer my phone call, my mother fell down and hit her little toe against the table leg. She couldn't walk for days. After that,I made an agreement with them: Don't run to answer the phone.I call first and let the phone ring three times to give them the time to prepare."

After listening to him, my heart felt full. We often show how we care for our parents with gitfs and cards, but aren't the everyday gifts doing from the little things and telling of our love?
